Pl cross check w10 ui by abbodi1406 with dont install edge chromium set to 2 or 1 depending upon your scenario.
will check that but is there a workaround to all apps that we removed to not return , because there are alot of stuff that gets installed with the updates for an example : Remote control , Storage spaces , workspaces center , and i don't know what else so is there a solution to get only the security patches or i'm forced to get all that i understand there is a solution for Edge chromium but what about the others Also thanks for your answer
There is a way, which in my view is solid, to update windows without the crap coming back... 1. Disable Windows Update. 2. And whenever you want to update, you should create your updated custom iso. 3. perform the inplace update. Search for inplace update here on the forum. You will find a lot of content. It is simple. With windows update enabled for builds since 18362, components are reinstated again.
thanks alot for your answer very appreciated , exactly what i wanted to know you are totally right , saved me time and effort
But that's why making your ISO, to do the inplace update, is more interesting. Because you apply the Customizations after the integration of the updates. In the case of using Windows Update, you will always be in doubt if an update has overwritten any settings that you had already customized. I'll be posting the WinPE and WinRE removal progress in my thread, along with the release of an IMCK update with those implements. Then you can test. I'll mention you in the post.
When MSMG Toolkit removes setup files, it also removes the tweak that allows for TPM bypass. Which files are necessary to preserve TPM bypass tweak? Does anyone know whether simple removal of WinRE.wim from mounted image and then resaving of the image (without WinRE.wim present) resuls in any corruption or problems during installation?
What tweak do you say is removed? The Tweak applied by the Toolkit itself is not removed. Another thing... What build are you doing? 22000 still works. for 22621 do not know. I read somewhere that this Bypass no longer works. If it's the Enthousiast tweak. Part of that is removed (a version of a Windows 10 file). But just apply again, I don't know if this relocated file will make any difference since you removed Windows Setup and it will not be possible to perform Inplace Update.
I used tk v13 on windows 11 22621.963 image. For now it seems to work(installs, boots, runs fine).

Rufus can apply some tweaks, such as removal of TPM requirement, but Rufus can only do that if setup files are present. If automatic installation files are removed via MSMG Toolkit's removal feature, then Rufus no longer provides any tweak options upon ISO image examination. The same happens with NTLite. If automatic setup are files removed, options to disable TPM requirement disappears from NTLite's Settings page. Does MSMG Toolkit force Windows 10/11 to accept any WinRE image selected? For example, can I replace Windows 10/11 WinRE with Macrium's WinRE?
There is an option to integrate a custom WinRE. Integrate Menu Integrate Windows Custom Features Menu Custom Windows Recovery Environment You need to put de winre.wim in: .\Custom\RecoveryImage\w10\x64 folder. .\Custom\RecoveryImage\w11\x64 folder.
Sweet! Thank you! I also think there should be an option to: 1. Hide all VC++ Redist packages from "Programs and Features" list. Abbodi's VC++ Redist script package contains several CMD files. One of the CMD files is ARP.cmd..bat and it is used exlusively to hide VC++ Redist from installed program list. 2. Integrate NSudo with context menu and/or intergrate RunAsTI script 3. Ability to skip setup questions about privacy
The images are substantially different. Not sure what you want to achieve, but the winpe image can be used for recovery purposes yes, but you would likely need additional software packages. If you want to boot winpe instead of winre, you would need to test it by renaming the winpe image to winre.wim and copy it to the appropriate location. Never done that myself though.
Its a bit off-topic: What I want is to have Macrium Rescue (WinPE ISO or WinRE ISO) to be used as recovery partition (on internal SSD drive). I have Macrium Rescue WinPE ISO and WinRE ISO already, but I don't know how to install either of them as recovery partitions on internal SSD drives. I load Macrium Rescue from USB instead. I'd rather load them from internal drive and have Windows OS load Macrium Rescue environment in case Windows OS becomes unbootable. I like how Dell and some other OEM's customize recovery partitions with many options, but ultimately, I just want to be able to load Macrium Rescue from an internal partiton to restore OS image in case OS becomes unbootable. Maybe Macrium software package has settings to install its Rescue Media parts onto default Windows OS recovery partition, but I can't check because I load Macrium exclusively from USB drives. On-topic: - MSMG Toolkit can make WinRE.wim a removable component. Removing it manualy saves a bit of space and doesn't corrupt component store or file integrity. - Does MSMG Toolkit apply TPM support requirement verification and other tweaks to boot.wim as well as install.wim? I think boot.wim controls TPM support requirement verification and if not mounted, tweak doesn't apply.
Can anyone tell me what is the correct way to remove WinPE from a mounted image? What I did: - Source > Select Source from <DVD> Folder > 1 - Do you want to mount Windows Setup Boot Image? [Yes] - Do you want to mount Windows Recovery Image? [No] - I removed everything that was inside index 1 folder "...\Mount\Boot\1". - Apply & Save Changes to Source Images - Do you want to trim unselected Image editions? [Yes] - Do you want to cleanup Image folder? [Yes] - Target > Make a DVD ISO Image The problem is, ISO size barely changed 3.26 GB (before WinPE removal), 3.25 GB (after WinPE removal). I also checked system size after Windows installation and used space (8.01 GB) + all system files (11.9 GB) had identical size to system with retained WinPE. Is it supposed to be such a small difference? The total content size of "...\Mount\Boot\1" folder was ~1.5 GB, so why is there almost no difference? After removal of Windows Recovery Environment (Winre.wim) located in the "...\Mount\Install\1\Windows\System32\Recovery", ISO size is reduced by 400 MB and disk total capacity after system installation is increased by 509 MB. So what do I actually get by removing WinPE? Nothing?
@n3ro97 good point, because my last iso's of W10 LTSC 2021 x64 stay in ~3.31GB and 3.25GB (including WinRE too)
